Yeah your right, its a sim unlock. I dont think I want to CID unlock at this point...it voids the warranty. There are plenty of Roms you can flash without CID unlocking.

no need CID unlock , nor SIM unlock for Wing.

C6806

Device goes into reboot loop when trying to enter. Need instructions on how to capture logcat as ADB LOGCAT cannot find device until OS or recovery is loaded.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alia5:
I'm guessing you also don't have a recovery.log anywhere on your phone?

Anyway I had some problems by just applying the TA-update with EMMA with some custom-roms, by flashing the newest stock version that whole song and dance got solved (C6833)

But as you stated in some other thread, just applying the TA update doesn't work for you on the C6806, and you already have had flashed the newest stock fw, so...

I guess I'm going to ask some people and see...

BTW: what happens if you "fastboot boot PATH_NAME_OF_RECOVERY.img" ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
AFAIK the C6806 is the Google Play Edition - that has a completely different boot method. Don't try this on the GPe.

Why has this thread been opened? We already have a TWRP 3 thread here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jimmkind:
In previous versions it was possible to reboot into recovery from rom. cm12.1 in my case. with yours and the others in the forum it results into bootloop. only way to enter recovery is to hold power+volume down.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alia5:
There also is a non-GPE C6806 (afaik) and I'm guessing [MENTION=4663180]pTeronaut[/MENTION] would've said if he has a GPE, if he has, well... then why does he even try since this is not the gpe section

The other TWRP 3 has a missing symlink in the init.rc script, which causes problems when trying to flash marshmallow roms

That's because the most roms (all of them available here?) don't support booting to recovery on the separate recovery partition. The roms need to have a patch in order to be able to boot to recovery on separate recovery partition.

When the marshmallow roms finally arrive (aka. ready to be shared in public) this will no longer be a problem
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
You know incorrectly, The GPE is based on the original North American LTE version of the Xperia Z Ultra C6806, the only difference being the storage's partitioning, 'Xperia' being removed from the device's branding and '_gpe' being tagged onto the model code.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jimmkind:
the recovery by Saatvik Shukla had this function working. the version of that recovery was 2.8.7.0.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
The recovery boots.

I'm beginning to think that the C6806 never got the recovery partition, and that Saatvik Shukla (who's TWRP works) & championswimmer (whose CWM works) have done something strange to get theirs working.

No recovery.log. :(

1st of all, my English is bad.

Sorry.

We all know u developed two version of Gfy(free and pro)

The free version is for all and the pro version is for support dev by some donation.

Its a matter of great regret that, most of the time people do piracy.

Some site owner dload pro version by donating and then they upload it on a third party hosting site.

Everybody then download from there.

They gets pro features enabled without any donations.

N.B -- CAN U MAKE GREENIFY LIKE GL GAMES?

LIKE,USERS HAVE TO VERIFY DID THEY REALLY BUYED PRO VERSION OR OTHERWISE.

(LIKE A APP PERCHASE VERIFICATION)

#THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR READING A USELESS STUPID GUY'S POST.
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
What you say is very relevant and not a useless post from a stupid guy.

Unfortunately we live in a world which has good and bad people. Of course something can be done to make life difficult for the bad people. But that will also make the lives of the good guys difficult. Nothing can be targeted at the bad guys alone. It will equally affect the good guys. Further there is no 100% deterrent since the bad guys will always find a way out. They have all the time since their entire life is spent doing such things.

That is why beyond a point Devs don't make the effort to tighten the licensing. They can spend the time usefully to make the lives of the good guys better.

Neither you nor me nor the Dev can make the bad guys good. So let us spend our lives doing things which will make good guys happy.
[Greenify] BatDroid:
agreed ?
[Greenify] MihaiSG:
Trust me if an app is good it will sell good.

Like for example Witcher 3 which is DRM free and was sold very good.

DRM will only affect legit owners and all DRMs will be cracked.

Like I said the app\game quality is the most important part, not the DRM.

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattcbotte:
So I made a big mistake and followed this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/development/wip-achieving-root-thread-t3238152 to attempt to root my device. I though my Fire 7 was compatible, bit I missed the "HD" in "Fire HD 7" and might have bricked my device.

It is now stuck on a black screen and it says:

USB Transferring...
USB Transmission OK Time:140ms Vel:31787KB/s

That's it. It won't respond to any button presses or anything. My only guess is to wait for it to die (unless it's permanent) or to buy a new one. It was only $50 anyway.....

Does anyone have an idea or can I just wait for it to die and it will be ok? If only I read carefully...

EDIT: I held down the power button and fixed it. Should have done that first. Time to get this thread deleted.

[General Questions and Answers] Dither:
Hi all, newb to this forum, seasoned Android user here.

I couldn't find a device specific subforum for my phone, so I followed the link from the sticky posted by a moderator.

I have two questions regarding my device. First off, I've already rooted it successfully via RCT Nerfer and then Framaroot. Latest SuperSU installed.

Running Android v4.1.2, Jellybean, stock ROM w/ Xposed and GravityBox.

First question. How do I hide the GPS icon displayed next to the network icon? It's not the blinking GPS blip that's displayed on the left side of the status bar when GPS information is being transmitted. I mean the icon that is constantly displayed when GPS is enabled, located to the right of the staus bar, grouped with the network and battery icons. In my opinion, I would like a less cluttered status bar. Any way i can hide that icon without turning GPS function off?

Second question. Has anyone determined a permanent custom recovery solution for this phone? I tried an installer for touch enabled CWM recovery that was in the form of an APK. It was originally designed for a different, but similar LG phone, and I read somewhere that it would work for my phone. So I tried it, and upon booting into recovery, it was there. However, I wanted to make sure it was permanent. Rebooted my device again, instead of recovery, it just initiated the default factory reset. I was infuriated after having to reinstall my apps and such all over again. Since then I haven't bothered trying again because I'm tired of my phone being factory reset. I also read somewhere that it might be caused by my phone's locked bootloader, though I don't know if it's locked or not, as I haven't attempted any procedures on the bootloader.

Thank you in advance, and please don't crucify me over these questions. I am not a stranger to Android, but some things do elude me.
[General Questions and Answers] Salik Iqbal:
1st: gps issue, edit systemui.apk with 7zip, remove icons.

2nd: flash twrp as soon as you boot into custom recovery by adb or whatever suited..
[General Questions and Answers] Dither:
Thank you, that information was helpful and quick to the point. Greatly appreciated.

Already eliminated GPS icon. Now I'll work on getting TWRP running so I can create NANDroid backups. They will come in handy in the event of some unforseen problem.

SuperSU reports "no SU binary found and can't load it. This is a problem."

Help! To root again but, how if that's the simple answer

Used Root Checker to check, says NO ROOT. Is it possible it IS STILL rooted and just some other problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentDenizen:
Root is disabled due of security reasons on SlimRoms builds by default. If you want to enable root do the following:

Unlock developer options -> Go the settings about and tap 7 times on the build number to unlock it. If succesfull you will see a toast message that you have unlocked it.

Then got into Settings->Developer options

Search for root access. And either chose app or app and adb as option

You have now enabled system wide root access.

I had this same issue, and fixed it with just googling it. this post was the first that showed up. second was the slimroms site. enjoy.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] danielvelez:
Hello there.

I´m a happy TNT 5.0 ROM user, and I was wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction about the restoration of the free program memory.

The software:

I´m actually using three different software applications to restore the program memory to it´s higher free memory, they are:

1. PBar - A small free task manager that I use to close all the applications running.

2. Oxios CloseApps - A small free application that came emmbedded inside TNT 5.0, to close all the applications. Actually when I run this after closing all applications with PBar, I still can get some free memory back.

3. Oxios Hibernate - Another small and free application, also from TNT 5.0, that sends a small command to all applications to free memory.

4. TaskManager: An application to check running process and memory.

So this is what is happening:

I softreset the device and get about 28.3 mb free program memory, but for the tests, it get´s down to 26.36mb as i´m using a screen capture software and task manager (Picture 1.

Then I play with the device for a while, opening applications, looking at big pictures, playing music, connecting to the internet using gprs and wi-fi, using windows live messenger, and then, closing everything again using the stated software in it´s order (1, 2, 3). By using each software, I get some free memory back, but still can get the memory that I get after a soft reset but only 24.58mb free.

As you can see on the attached files, the main difference is the memory that´s being used by the main 4 process, but still the difference is only 1.062 kb and as stated under the clock, there are still more than 700kb of memory that somehow got lost in the middle.

There´s one more process running on the "after playing" image, but it´s way under 10k, so it shouldn´t matter at all.

Actually when typing this thread, i received a call, and then the process called cprog.exe stoled some more free program memory that I can´t get back using neighter of the three applications stated above.

Anybody know how to deal with this? It´s possible to get near the same free memory back as the one you get after a soft reset?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] danielvelez:
One memory eater app

One of the most program memory vanisher applications, seems to be Windows Live Messenger, as after a soft reset, and then using it for a while, and even after closing all applications and sending hibernate and kill commands to everything, I ended up with almost 3.5 mb of free program memory lost in the process...

Where is all that free memory going?

Can I get it back somehow without needing to softreset?

Is there a good Application killer that does the trick?

Anybody?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony.p:
Hi, my phone stopped being able to get a USB data connection. The port is physically intact and does not wiggle. I've tried two different Macs and one PC, different USB-A to -C cables (all verified by Benson Leung). Also toggled USB debug, MTP and PTP modes from Developer Options, rebooted phone and computer. When I plug the phone in, it only goes to Charging mode. Android File Transfer doesn't see it and 'adb devices' comes back empty. There is no notification offering me to select connection type. Did I miss anything or is it time to send it in? Thanks, Tony
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
What OS are you running on your Windows - checking your Device Manager under Control Panels - are all the Google / N5X drivers installed and working correctly before this ? Try uninstalling, reboot PC and re-install them - and, use different USB port to connect the cable (what kind of connections are you using ??)

Can you run ADB ?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony.p:
Thanks I'm primarily using a Mac (10.10.5) but the PC was running Vista. It was a borrowed PC so I didn't install the drivers. I don't think it's a driver issue though since nothing shows up in device manager and the phone doesn't offer to switch out of charge-only mode. Also the same Mac worked previously.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spibbs:
I was rooted earlier this year. I disabled some unused services with a "Disable Services" app.

Later, I unrooted, and forgot to restore all the services I had disabled. ie. 'GamesSiignInServiceProxy' is still disabled.

Now, when I try to sign in to some games, or to Google Play Games, I get an error message: "Google Play games relies on google play services, which is not supported by your device..."

I need to either 1) restore a few specific services without root, or 2) completely reinstall/restore Google play services. I can't uninstall or disable Google play services because it's a device admin, I tried just reinstalling it from a downloaded .apk but that failed.

Any ideas that don't involve rooting again?

[Galaxy E5, E7 General] wfire:
All -

I have a Samsung Galaxy E7 E7000 which I am looking to donate to an XDA Developer.

The phone is factory-reset, unlocked, legal, and clear. It has the latest Hong Kong firmware on it. It was purchased by me from an importer in the United States. It has only one issue: I have discovered through using it that - amazingly - the receipt of a voicemail message alert causes the Phone App to start crashing, repeatedly. Flashing the China firmware on it clears that problem - it also clears out Google apps and changes the phone significantly. Flashing the Hong Kong firmware back on it restores the phone... and the problem. Since this phone was intended for a family member, I have no more time to spend on it, and have simply replaced it with a different Samsung phone.

It seems to me that this phone would be ideal as a platform for an E7 developer. If that's you, if you are serious about XDA and about doing development work for the E7, and if you are in the continental United States, I will be happy to ship this phone to you at no cost, at my expense. I use can use the US Post Office or FedEx ground, so I can ship to you directly, or to a PO Box, or, for location privacy, I can ship to any FedEx Office hold-for-pickup location that you specify.

I have no way of no way of knowing who is or is not a serious developer, so I will just take the first response I get. But I do want to support XDA and Samsung development, so I remind you that, if you are a phone user looking for a free phone, you do NOT want this phone. It becomes unusable whenever you get a voicemail message... seriously unusable. This phone will ONLY be of use to a developer, who is looking to do custom Android development work on it, so, please, don't rob someone else of the chance to help us all by responding if you're not serious.

Thanks for reading, PM to "wfire" with your shipping information.

[T-Mobile LG G4] vq8acsxht:
Now that T-Mobile supports the FM Radio, anyone get the FM Radio working yet in the T-Mobile version. If you did which ROM are you using and how did you get it working? Also, any idea when LG is going to patch this so that the stock rom has FM Radio?
[T-Mobile LG G4] cajunflavoredbob:
The FM radio antenna is grounded out on the Qualcomm chip. A software update is not going to enable this. Their support for FM radio is not retroactive to devices they sold with a hardware disabled radio antenna, such as the H811.

This method of grounding out the antenna pin is what all the carriers have used since the old Windows Mobile days, predating iOS and Android. It sucks, but it is yet another good reason to buy unlocked devices as opposed to carrier branded models.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Mogster2K:
Can it be fixed?
[T-Mobile LG G4] vq8acsxht:
Not a problem. I am sure that you have some information or some schematics to show us on where this "PIN" of where the antenna is. I will get my soldering gun out and connect an antenna to this "PIN" that you claim is grounded. I would like to know your source of where you got this information at. So, could you please be more clear as of which pin is grounded out or your source? Also, I think my question was:

"anyone get the FM Radio working yet in the T-Mobile version."

I don't care if the phone did not get good reception, then we would all know that it was an antenna problem for sure.
[T-Mobile LG G4] cajunflavoredbob:
This isn't something new that needs to be sourced. Google it if you're curious on the history of this. The SpiritFM thread also has a lot of information on this. Mike is one of the most knowledgeable people on this site when it comes to FM tech. As for me, I've got 10+ years of experience. Believe it or don't; it's your choice.

This is common practice on carrier model devices that has occurred since before the iPhone was a thing. Carriers instruct OEMs to connect the FM antenna to ground to render it useless. There has never been any official reasoning given, although common speculation on the practice has been to force people into paying for streaming data instead of getting free FM. Business as usual. This speculation is further supported by the fact that unlocked/international models have FM support with a functional Qualcomm chip. Sometimes lower end devices don't get the ax when the cost of doing this isn't worth the extra step.

Being grounded doesn't mean poor reception; it means no reception. You would need to scratch out the ground and then connect the antenna to the headphone jack, unless you plan to add your own antenna, however impracticable that might be. If you want a pin out on Qualcomm's chips, you'll need to go through them. I've simply given you the reason why it doesn't work and why a software update won't fix it.

In any case, try being less aggressive in your responses. Nothing in my response warranted that sarcasm.
